Canvas Mode
The classic node-based workspace where you connect blocks, build pipelines, and control full creative workflows visually.
Overview
Canvas Mode is the graph-first workspace in Raelume.
It is designed for composing, routing, and scaling creative workflows with connected blocks.
Best For
- Multi-step pipelines (prompt -> image -> video -> worlds).
- Reusable block structures and visual branching.
- Complex orchestration with utility blocks (Variator, Composer, Camera Sheet, Clip Assembler, Webhook).
Core Workflow
- Add blocks on the canvas.
- Connect outputs to downstream inputs.
- Generate and inspect versions in each block.
- Route selected outputs to the next stage.
- Save and reuse the workflow as your project backbone.
Organize workflows with pages
Give each separate workflow its own page. Branches that work together can stay on one page, and loose blocks are fine. This keeps the canvas organized and gives each page a clear set of inputs and results in Interface Mode.
Interface Mode requires one connected workflow per page. If multiple workflows are detected, organize them on Canvas first, then return to Interface Mode once each page has just one workflow.
- Click + beside the page name to create and name a page.
- Return to the original page and select every block in the workflow you want to move.
- Choose Move to page in the selection toolbar, then Move beside the destination. Connections between the selected blocks move with them; connections to blocks left behind do not cross pages.
- Switch workflows using the page menu, or ⌘/Ctrl + ←/→ when you are not editing a field. You can also switch pages from Interface Mode.
Watch the short paging guides.
Composer In Canvas
Composer is part of Utility blocks in Canvas:
- Connect image and 3D sources.
- Build layered compositions.
- Use
RenderorExtractto create a new image block, then connect that block downstream if needed.
When To Switch To Focus
Switch to Focus Mode when you want fast chat iteration, session-based exploration, or rapid prompt/model loops before bringing selected assets back into canvas workflows.
One workflow per page
Keep each interface focused on one workflow. Move separate chains to their own pages, then switch between them from the page menu.
Create a page with the + next to the page name. Back on the original page, select all the blocks in one workflow, choose Move to page in the selection toolbar, then Move beside the destination.
Select the whole chain so its connections move together. Branches can stay together, and loose blocks are fine.
